Bethan Burton
Artist and environmental educator at Journaling With Nature.
Samford Valley QLD, Australia
Artist, environmental educator, and founder of International Nature Journaling Week. I have a Bachelor of Science (Ecology and Conservation Biology) and a Master of Environment (Education for Sustainability). My passion is helping others deepen their connection with nature through the practice of nature journaling.
About this FieldTrip
In this one-hour workshop we will learn about nature journaling, what it is, why we do it and how to begin. We will learn to use intentional curiosity to look at nature in new ways and notice the small wonders that surround us every day.
By the end of the workshop, we will have new ways of looking closely at nature and skills for capturing our observations on paper, using words, pictures and numbers.
What to Expect
We will spend the first ten minutes getting to know all about nature journaling and why this practice is so powerful for deepening our connection with nature.
For the next 40 minutes we will nature journal together, practicing intentional curiosity and using words, pictures and numbers to explore a natural subject. I will nature journal in real time, using a document camera, so you can see my process. You can explore your own natural subject along with me.
At the end of the session we will spend 10 minutes answering any questions and sharing our nature journal pages.
What to bring:
âïž A natural subject to explore - something from the garden or the kitchen (eg. a flower, houseplant, bean pod, fruit, vegetable or herb)
âïžA piece of paper or a sketchbook
âïžPen or pencil
âïž Coloured pencils or watercolours (optional)
âïžA ruler (optional)
âïž You donât need any fancy materials or any art experience for nature journaling. All you really need is something to write with, something to write on and your sense of curiosity!

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŠâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
